I'm 25, turning 26 in April.
My avatar is the best self-portrait I could draw using a mouse in Photoshop.  (I'm actually quite pleased with it  )

It seems like SMAC community has some new faces around here . That's very nice. I was surprised when I came back with new account just to find that I still remembered half of the people who post here ...and I wasn't that long here at the first time.
Anyway, our middle-aged settler pushed average to 28.333...

Well well well, I remember that back at ACOL I maintained a grid reporting the exact ages of every single poster, not just grouped and summarised in classes...
Anyway, I'm 39.
That is, I'm in my 40th year (like as with the millennium misunderstanding, from age 0 to age 1 you're living your 1st year of life, from age 1 to age 2 you're living through your 2nd year of life, and so on...).

Your information would be far more valuable if you could provide us with the exact timestamp of your calculation. But I'm duely impressed anyway that you were able to determine our average age to several milliseconds

But not smart enough to find a way to determine average value using only "the latest average and the newest value that's added to that average"(this is me talking about mathematics in english). Anyway, now when I mentioned it...who can do it? Someone must know, since this is an intellectual forum for all I know
The average was 29.2380952381 after 21 values. What's the average when one(1) value, 14, is added? Calculate this without including the first 21 values. First one who gets it right...will be quoted by Shai-Hulud!
The average is 28.5454545455 after 22 posts

So, extrapolating backwards, can we assume that the average age of people here when Civ was released is 18? I can't imagine getting into Civ at 18! I was 11! But then maybe I was a mature 11...

Does that mean I was 6 when Civ came out?
Yeesh! I could hardly get into CivII when I first got it!
Of course, I don't play it at all now - SMAC has overtaken it massively in the popularity stakes. Just things like the fantastic diplomacy (especially the 'full of droids' quote  ) and the ability to design your own units elevate SMAC way above CivII.

(29.2something*21 + 14)/23 = Ummmm...
Too much maths in my life. Can't do it anymore. For the formula you have to know the old mean x0 and the number n of people who make up this mean, and the new value x you want to add:
new mean is (x0*n + x) / (n+1)
You might have remembered the old sum (which is x0*n) of all ages from your last calculation instead of typing everything in your calculator again
I am smart enough
Fill in the numbers and calculate yourself
